You might as well qualify for the kids menu now.<\/p>\n<p>Just in time for the post-Independence Day afterglow, Burger King has graced us all with one of the most monstrous fast food burgers in history: a half-pound, all beef mega-sandwich topped with crispy onions, American cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, bacon and a hearty, proprietary \u201ctavern sauce&#8221; \u2014 all culminating in a 1,500 calorie-plus, Budweiser-co-branded, grub-on-the-go Goliath.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Burger-King-American-Brewhouse-King-2.jpg?resize=600%2C406&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King American Brewhouse King 2\" title=\"Burger King American Brewhouse King 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"406\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, not that it&#8217;s all that surprising, but by golly, this newfangled American Brewhouse King is quite filling. Unless you&#8217;re a competitive eater or something, this huge honkin&#8217; hamburger is almost sure to put you in a food coma, and truth be told, I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful the whole thing was.<\/p>\n<p>Even factoring out the gimmicky pseudo-beer-flavored queso (which I still found quite tantalizing), you&#8217;ve got a solid fast food burger here, in which all of the ingredients gel quite well together. It may be nothing more than a shameless novelty, but as far as shameless novelties go, it&#8217;s certainly one of the more unironically enjoyable to come down the fast food chutes in quite some time. <\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>You can quibble over a few details (I thought the crispy onion bits were too small and too sporadically sprinkled), but for the most part, you are getting a pretty good (if not somewhat overpriced) burger. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Burger-King-American-Brewhouse-King-3.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Burger King American Brewhouse King 3\" title=\"Burger King American Brewhouse King 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, the usual Burger King caveats do apply; considering this thing packs in almost a full day&#8217;s worth of sodium and has about half a dozen viscous fluids dripping out of it, you&#8217;d be well-advised to keep both a cold drink and a couple of napkins nearby at all times. <\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>As a tongue-in-cheek, &#8220;yeah, we KNOW how unhealthy we&#8217;re being on purpose&#8221; summertime splurge, this is astonishingly tasty. Unlike some of the other seasonal gimmick foods making the rounds these days, the American Brewhouse King actually has consumer value beyond being another &#8220;experiential&#8221; event food tailor-made for the Instagram set.<\/p>\n<p>Calorie overload or not, there&#8217;s no denying Burger King crafted a hedonistically yummy fast food artery-clogger with this one; give it a try if you&#8217;re an adventurous sort, but be prepared to do a LOT of overtime on the treadmill afterward.?<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $6\/29<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> N\/A<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Nutrition Facts:<\/b> 1,550 calories, 136 grams of fat, 47 grams of saturated fat, 8 grams of trans fat, 805 milligrams of cholesterol, 1,820 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 134 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it?
